Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2010 2010Moderate

In the house circuit, all the electric appliances are connected in parallel between mainline and neutral line appliances will have.

Correct answer: D. Same potential difference

  • A. Same current
  • B. Same power
  • C. Different potential and same current
  • D. Same potential difference

Explanation

In a parallel circuit, each appliance is connected directly to the main line and the neutral line, creating individual pathways for the current to flow. As a result, the potential difference across each appliance is the same, regardless of the appliance's resistance or power rating.

About Steady Current

Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
